THERE were two thrilling semi-finals in the Toddys Gold Label Cup last Tuesday, and both matches went to an 11th frame. At Legends Bar in Los Cristianos, First Division Target Bar raced into an early 2-0 lead, only for Heike to pull a frame back for Toscales A-Team. The Second Division side have taken some [...]
THE Oasis Fm League’s 2011-2012 season began way back on 13th May 2011, and, such is its popularity that it now takes a full 48 weeks to complete. The 36 teams involved played 612 matches, which included 4,896 games, 16,524 legs and over 450,000 darts! So, as a well-deserved treat, and providing they have some [...]
CD Tenerife 1 CD Lugo 1 THIS was Quique Medina’s second match in charge of CD Tenerife, the first being half-a-dozen seasons before Sunday. On that occasion, Tenerife played well inSanta Cruzand came away with a spirited draw with Sporting Gijon. On Sunday, for 2-2 read 1-1 and forGijonit’sLugo, but the rest was remarkable similar. [...]
THE Memorial Trophy event is an end-of-season, fund-raising, knock-out competition for charity.

XTREME Sports Bar are League champions for the second year running! A win over Cozy Wanderers in their final match was enough to snatch the title from Bar 180 A by just two points. For their part, Bar 180 A dished out a real hammering to Gaffers with a whitewash. A John Lowe final hangover, [...]
WE are down to the business end of the season, and five 6-4 scorelines in Division One on Tuesday showed how much every frame matters. There has been an excellent three-way battle for the title in recent weeks, but former winners Tenerife Hammers A may have slipped away as we enter the final furlong. They [...]
CD Tenerife 1 CD Toledo 0 THE margins between success and failure are so fine. It remains to be seen quite how significant Pablo Sicilia’s 94th-minute winner last Sunday turns out to be. But I doubt theTenerifecaptain has even netted such an important goal. Would chairman Miguel Conception have fired manager Andres Garcia Tebar if [...]
